Senior Digital Specialist - .NET Developer (Flexibly located within Scotland) in Edinburgh

Together we are Trusted to Serve Scotland.

It’s not every job where you make a difference for the people of Scotland—but that’s what’s behind every role here at Scottish Water. Our work keeps Scotland’s water flowing, from reservoir to tap and from sewer to treatment plant. Behind the scenes, we’re transforming how we do it, building smarter systems and stronger digital platforms that underpin vital public services.

Do you want your code to make a real-world impact? We’re looking for a talented .NET Developer to join our growing team—someone who thrives on challenge, is passionate about clean, high-quality code, and wants to work on meaningful projects that benefit communities across Scotland. In this role, you’ll help deliver innovative solutions across web, mobile, and cloud using the Microsoft stack and Azure platform. In return, you’ll be part of an open, collaborative environment with a genuine focus on work-life balance, where your skills will be supported and nurtured.

What you'll do

• As a .NET Developer, you’ll be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining robust .NET applications, including mobile apps and cloud services.
• You’ll contribute to the design, deployment, and management of Azure resources and make use of Azure DevOps to manage repositories and CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaboration is key here—you’ll work closely with product owners, designers, and fellow developers in Agile ceremonies, actively participating in code reviews, design discussions, and planning sessions.
• Sharing knowledge and mentoring others will be part of your routine, as well as maintaining a strong focus on user experience for both internal and external users.

What you'll bring

• Proven experience as a .NET Full Stack Developer, with strong expertise in C# and the broader .NET ecosystem.
• Hands-on experience in mobile application development—ideally .NET MAUI—and solid knowledge of Azure DevOps and associated Azure services.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines is essential, along with a passion for clean, maintainable code and well-architected systems.
• Communication skills are key—you’ll be expected to explain the “why” as well as the “how,” and confidently engage with stakeholders at all levels.
• Additional experience with Xamarin, Agile/Scrum practices, Git, and modern version control workflows is advantageous.
• An understanding of how to build scalable, secure, cloud-native applications will be a definite plus.

Looking out for you

At Scottish Water, we look after our people. While the work we do is important, we also believe in supporting a healthy work-life balance. You’ll receive 38 days of annual leave (including public holidays), with the option to buy five more, and paid time off to volunteer in your community. We offer family-friendly policies for life events like adoption, maternity, and parental leave, and embrace flexible working for everyday life.

Looking ahead, our defined benefit, contribution pension scheme provides the security of knowing what you’ll get when you retire, and we offer life insurance too. On top of that, you’ll receive an annual company bonus and access to SW Splash—our rewards programme that helps you save on holidays, bills, and shopping.

This role will be a Grade 7. If you’re new to Scottish Water, you’ll join us on a starting salary of £44,030. Performance-driven pay progression would then allow you to move through the range to a maximum of £55,000. We operate Balanced Hybrid working at Scottish Water and we encourage people to work half their time in a Scottish Water location. You can be based anywhere in Scotland, as long as you’re within commuting distance of one of our hubs in Edinburgh, Dundee, Inverness, or Stepps (near Glasgow).

If this opportunity excites you—or you know someone who would be a great fit—applications are open until midnight on the closing date of the 27th Feb 2026.
